Arun

River levels in and near Pulborough will stay high for most of Sunday 8/3/2020, but are slowly falling. Water will affect fields, roads, gardens and be close to properties near to Swan Bridge.

Water levels at Pulborough could fall for the rest of the week. However tide levels at Littlehampton will continue to rise until Thursday 12/3/2020.

River levels in Pulborough remain very high, but are slowly falling. Flood impacts will continue to affect fields, gardens and roads. Potentially until the weekend.

Relatively small amounts in comparison to Storm Dennis (10mm compared to 50mm), but may still be enough to cause river levels to rise slightly and extend the duration of minor flood impacts until the weekend.
